Residents can simply drop their documents off or stay and watch their documents destroyed. The event will happen rain or shine. If the shredding truck fills up before 10:30, the event will be over.

During this time, the Hendersonville Police Department and Henderson County Sheriff’s Office will host a Drug Take Back to allow residents to dispose of expired/unused medication, such as prescription & over the counter pills, vitamins, ointments and patches.

No chemotherapy drugs, needles or EpiPens will be accepted.

To make this part of a community outreach effort, the city is asking that residents coming to the event to bring items to donate to the Storehouse and IAM. Suggested items are canned fruits and vegetables, canned chili and beef stew and toiletry items.

For more information, contact Lu Ann Welter, HR coordinator, at 828-233-3204 or lwelter@hvlnc.gov.
